I grew up in a pet-loving home. Our golden retriever, Oliver, was with us for 9 wonderful years, and our feisty tabby cat, Cloe, was his best friend (and sometimes comical enemy). As a kid I would often look after the pets of neighbors and friends, and later shared my babysitting duties with dog watching duties for various families around town. I live in a Brighton apartment now, so I don't currently have any pets of my own, but I often help my sister with her two dogs and cat. I'm very active and love being outdoors, and oftentimes I prefer taking long walks with four-legged companions over their human counterparts. I've cared for pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes, and I'm always looking for a furry fix!
